I had the gastric sleeve surgery 4/28/16. Two weeks prior I had to do an Optifast liquid diet. The highest my sugar went was 110. This morning it was 77. I'm down about 17 lbs now (since before the Optifast.) my goal is to lose 60 lbs. I had a lapband for 10 years then it started giving me a lot of problems and I developed hypothyroidism and started gaining. I found that excerise is the answer to lowering my blood sugar. For the past 11 months I have walked between 2-6 miles every single day. I have 5 dogs so that gives me incentive.
I know I will succeed this time and keep the weight off. Being labeled as a diabetic is my absolute worst nightmare!! I'd much rather a doctor tell me I had terminal cancer (yes I'm dead serious.)
